I saw comedian Mark Watson perform at the Nova and he was brilliant!
UK comedian Mark Watson is making his debut at the Adelaide Fringe this year, and is one of the most funniest and engaging performers. His very long show title I'm Worried That I'm Starting To Hate Almost Everyone In The World, doesn't even summarise the hilarity of the show.
He is crass, irritating and quick witted, yet you'll fall for his charm and biting humour.
Mark is also a published novelist, and is completing a screenplay of his book, Bullet Points.
Mark Watson:I'm Worried That I'm Starting To Hate Almost Everyone In The World is at Nova Cinemas until March 31.
Watson Hits The Mark by Linh
There is seldom a comedian who has a keen observation of everyday life and twists it to expose the absurdity of the human condition. Well... maybe Jerry Seinfeld, but others are equally adept. Especially Welshman Mark Watson.
In his show, Mark does more than the usual stand up routine. Armed with his mystery sack full of items representing one of the seven deadly sins, Mark enlists the assistance of audience members to pull an item out of the sack. His audience interaction extends further with someone timing his 'Sack of Sins' segment and another to make clapping noises if no-one laughs or claps at his jokes.
Mark is breath-taking as his jokes are delivered at a cracking pace; if you miss it, you missed a great gag, and he'll even point out that you did. His ardent use of the English language is combined with the Aussie vernacular and expletives to deliver jokes on public transport, people who wear suggestive slogans on shirts and what makes Aussies laugh that Britons find unfunny.
His thick and slick Welsh accent makes the jokes funnier, simply because as he says "accents are funny, if you're not laughing at the jokes, just laugh every time I speak."
I thoroughly enjoyed Mark Watson and his comedic style of lightning fast jokes and everyday observations, and I look forward to reading his book Bullet Points.
